Google Security Operations Engineer (Beta) Sample Questions:
Question 1
Your organization is a Google Security Operations (SecOps) customer. The compliance team requires a weekly export of case resolutions and SLA metrics of high and critical severity cases over the past week. The compliance team's post- processing scripts require this data to be formatted as tabular data in CSV files, zipped, and delivered to their email each Monday morning.
What should you do?
A. Use statistics in search, and configure a Google SecOps SOAR job to format and send the report.
B. Build a detection rule with outcomes, and configure a Google SecOps SOAR job to format and send the report.
C. Build an Advanced Report in SOAR Reports, and schedule delivery of the report.
D. Generate a report in SOAR Reports, and schedule delivery of the report.
Question 2
A phishing campaign successfully convinces users to grant OAuth permissions to a malicious third-party application. Which control failure MOST likely allowed this?
A. Weak endpoint protection
B. Missing antivirus signatures
C. Missing email sandboxing
D. Lack of monitoring and restriction on OAuth consent grants
Question 3
You are ingesting and parsing logs from an SSO provider and an on-premises appliance using Google Security Operations (SecOps). Users are tagged as "restricted" by an internal process. Restrictions last five days from the most recent flagging time. You need to create a rule to detect when restricted users log into the appliance. Your solution must be quickly implemented and easily maintained. What should you do?
A. Store the flagged users in a data table column with their corresponding time to live values in a second column. Use row-based comparisons in your detection rule.
B. Use a Google SecOps SOAR global context value to store a list of flagged users with their corresponding time to live values. Use a SOAR job to dynamically build and deploy a new version of the detection rule with the updated list of flagged users.
C. Ingest the user flags as custom enrichment data using a feed. Use a multi-event detection rule to find logins from users flagged in the entity graph.
D. Store the identifiers of the flagged users in the detection rule logic. Actively monitor for newly flagged users, and add them to the detection rule logic.
Question 4
You are responsible for monitoring the ingestion of critical Windows server logs to Google Security Operations (SecOps) by using the Bindplane agent. You want to receive an immediate notification when no logs have been ingested for over 30 minutes. You want to use the most efficient notification solution. What should you do?
A. Create a new alert policy in Cloud Monitoring that triggers a notification based on the absence of logs from the server's hostname.
B. Configure the Windows server to send an email notification if there is an error in the Bindplane process.
C. Create a new YARA-L rule in Google SecOps SIEM to detect the absence of logs from the server within a 30-minute window.

Question 5
You are a security analyst at an organization that uses Google Security Operations (SecOps). You have identified a new IP address that is known to be used by a malicious threat actor to launch network attacks. You need to search for this IP address in Google SecOps using all normalized logs to determine whether any malicious activity has occurred. You want to use the most effective approach. What should you do?
A. Write a YARA-L 2.0 detection rule that searches for events with the IP address.
B. Run raw log searches using the IP address as a search term.
C. On the Alerts & IOCS page, review results and entries where the IP address appears.
D. Write UDM searches using YARA-L 2.0 syntax to find events where the IP address appears.
